I know we all get heated at times with political opinion varying, sometimes drastically.. however, there is also a day where we all should drop our spite and angst and celebrate our uniqueness and qualities.. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Merry Christmas! The 1914 Christmas truce to start. How appropriate. If only the old foreign policy experts who started the war had been as wise. From "A Christmas Story" The school and "Oh fudge!" Higbees and Chinese restaurant Ralphie's house and Bumpus dogs Under the tree A Christmas Carol
Great thread. Merry Christmas to you and everyone else on the forum. Today, I count my blessings as to how fortunate I am to have a great family, for which the greatest worry of the day is whether everyone likes the mass of presents they'll be getting. I realize that others are not as fortunate and have to spend this time alone. The only sadness today is that I miss Christmas time in my home country, Germany, and can't be with my German part of the family. Christmas eve is the big event in Germany, and the older I get, the more I feel the homesickness on those special days, especially remembering my late parents.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, happy holidays to the rest of you. One day of peace & goodwill beforfe hostilities resume (except for fighting with family, of course ). I leave you with one of only two Christmas songs I really like...a bit sadder this year for the loss of its composer.
In 24 hours in 5 minutes, let the fighting resume. Lol Happy birthday to Jesus. What might I be doing tonight you may ask? Working of course. But I got a generous bonus and a 3-day weekend starting at about 6:20 a.m. When I become president I will mandate that all retail establishments be closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas. There should be at least two days a year that everyone knows to get your stuff before the hour of closing. Oh well, I'm just complaining but in the end working tonight sure as hell beats not having a job come New Year's. There are more customers tonight than there was last night.
Heavy Metal Christmas On my heavy metal Christmas, my true love gave to me: 12 silver crosses 11 black mascaras Ten pairs of platforms Nine tattered t-shirts Eight pentagrams Seven leather jackets Six cans of hairspray Five skull earrings Four quarts of Jack Three studded belts Two pairs of spandex pants And a tattoo of Ozzy
